I miss Imhotep....
Today I saw the third installment of the Mummy series. I wasn't thrilled with it, honestly. The actors who played Alex and Lin were awful, the whole movie was full of scenes ripped straight from both the previous Mummy movies and even a few blatant Indiana Jones rip-offs, and there were random yetis. There was no explanation as to why there were yetis, and I was annoyed by that. However, there were some up points. First off, it was fricking hilarious. Second, there weren't just mummies in this one, there were effing ZOMBIES. They weren't the feast-on-the-flesh-of-the-living kind of zombie, but zombies none the less. Third, and most importantly, there was Johnathan. That character is a fricking god of stupidity, and I love that ridiculous little man. The best part was in the first twenty minutes of the movie when Rick and Johnathan were chasing the mummy through the streets of Shanghai in a truck full of fireworks and decided to shoot a rocket at him. They missed the mummy but the back of Johnathan's pants got set on fire. He then spent the rest of the chase yelling "MY a** IS ON FIRE!!! FORGET ABOUT THE MUMMY, SAVE MY a**!!!!" If that doesn't earn you an Oscar nomination I don't know what does.
